Victory Part 1 of 2
Today, I thought I ‘d share an excerpt from one of my favorite books “Saying Goodbye to Shame” By Jackie Kendall. This excerpt is titled “Ginger’s Song of Victory”. When I read it, it caused me to take a look at the way I handle the trials and tribulations that may arise in life. Can I have faith even [...]
You Can’t Out-Give God
When we’ve got stuff to get rid of, one of the first things we do is call up a family member or a friend and ask them if they want it. We might make that trip to Goodwill or Salvation Army but most of the time, getting rid of things usually means tossing it out [...]
Not Because of What You Do Part 2 of 2
Our good deeds don’t qualify as payment for our freedom. Hebrews 9:22 says “And according to the law almost all things are purified with the blood, and without shedding of blood there is no remission.” As you may know, during in the Old Testament, animals were sacrificed to cleanse one from their sin(see also Hebrews [...]
Not Because of What You Do Part 1 of 2
It seems that we are often led to believe that we have to do certain things in order to receive freedom in Christ Jesus. However, I believe that belief in itself is what can keep us bound.
Restoring Dead Enthusiasm Part 1 of 3
One thing I ask God to help me with is the ability to stick to something. I think it’s called “stick-to-it-tive-ness” (or, maybe I’ve just made up a word ). I often start something with enthusiasm and zeal. However, after a while, I lose the drive and eventually slow to a halt. The funny thing [...]
Lets Not Get Distracted Part 2 of 2
What was the good portion? The good portion was the Word of God. Mary had chosen to sit and listen to Jesus rather than allow the various tasks to become a distraction. While reading this, I noticed that my bible gave Psalms 27:4 as a reference scripture to the “one thing” that Mary had chosen. [...]
Let’s Not Get Distracted Part 1 of 2
Do you remember when you first got saved? The fire you had for God was exciting and new. You wanted to do all that you could. You served on the usher board, you joined the praise team, you helped with children’s ministry, and you even cleaned the church on Saturday. Not to mention the [...]
Building on The Rock Part 2 of 2
What happens when we are not built on the rock? What happens when we choose to simply cast life’s instruction manual aside? Jesus tells us in verse 26, “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand” An [...]
Building on The Rock Part 1 of 2
When we get a new gadget we know that en-order to properly operate it we should refer to the instruction manual. However, there are a select few that choose to learn as we go. This decision will eventually cause us to have to refer to the manual later on when we run into technical difficulties. [...]
Caught in Satan’s Trap Part 2 of 2
Although times have changed from the Old Testament practices, satan still has traps that he uses to entice people into practicing witchcraft and being involved in the occult even though God looks at these practices as abominations.
